While we might spend a majority of our time performing HVAC work like installation and repair, and writing these blogs about proper AC care, we actually spend a lot of time listening as well. Our phone lines are always open, so we talk to members of this community pretty regularly. When some misconceptions arise about AC technology, we can usually tell because of the questions we receive.
Well, what if we answered some of those questions in a way that was easy for many of our readers to access? You don’t need to call our number to learn about this kind of equipment, you can just keep reading and see our answers to some of your most frequently asked questions!

As the peak summer season continues, the temperatures are only going to get hotter. Having a properly functioning air conditioning system that can fulfill your cooling needs is a necessity if you want to stop the hot weather from ruining your week.

If we were writing this blog post 20 years ago, that image would be the only option for their cooling needs. However, in the 21st century, there are other options for cooling systems, and many homeowners don’t know what they are.
Every day it gets closer and closer to summer, and those of us with problematic air conditioners begin to stress out.
